Generalisation Increases the Adaptive Value of Mate-Choice Copying when Immediate Copying is Costly

2024-09-30

Abstract excerpt

When assessing potential mates is costly, there will be selection for copying others. Mate-choice copying, which is the increased chance of mating with another individual after observing them mating with someone else (i.e., individual-based copying), has been documented in several species, including humans. It is touted as an example of the influence of culture on animal and human mating, but alone it is unlikely...
